Comment on Establishing Healthy Bedtime Routines by Rachel

I actually enjoy our bedtime routine. After the baby goes to bed my preschool-aged boys get their pajamas on. After teeth are brushed we sit on their beds and read a couple of stories. Since they usually still have some energy to burn we let them play their Leapsters for about 15 minutes and then they go to sleep on their own. Sometimes we sit and talk with them while they play. This is often my favorite time of the day because they tell me their silliest stories. This routine has worked very well for us, and because we do it every night they don’t even question it.

My preschool-aged boys responded very well to a chore chart and reward system. Their chores are getting dressed, making their bed, putting their dishes in the sink, picking up toys, putting pajamas on, and brushing teeth before bed.

These are wonderful ideas to teach your children that the universe doesn’t revolve around them. I have used many of these ideas with my own children, and they really work. A child as young as three years old can help pick out a toy for another child for Christmas or give one of his or her toys away to charity.

I like your post very much especially on giving your child choices. Sometimes I’m guilty of not letting my child do what he wants. Thanks for reminding me through your post to give him a freedom of choice.

Totally second the balance bike. My 3 yr old got one for his third birthday. Within a week he was scooting around it faster than I can walk. Now at 3.5 he is so confident he puts both feet up and glides for 20-30 feet and then just puts his foot down when he stops, like a motorcycle rider. He also is showing he can balance with just one hand steering! Ours is a Miniglider. There is a comparison site at http://runbikes.com that shows all the wooden and metal ones available. Ours is red metal with a handbrake, footpegs and solid tires (no air! no chains! no mechanical parts!) My son totally loves to be using a 2 wheeler like a big boy, and I think he is ready for pedals.
